How to properly organize open storage: this is the only way to hide the mess from prying eyes
Open shelves, racks and rails are sometimes popular, sometimes criticized.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, on the one hand, thanks to open storage, it becomes possible to lighten the space, making it light, elegant and free and providing quick access to things.
On the other hand, this storage option adds places in the house where dust will accumulate, and with it, dust mites - a nightmare for people with allergies.
There is another rather significant disadvantage – open storage often makes the interior look untidy. Why? The answer is quite simple: it is quite problematic to constantly maintain order on the shelves, given the modern pace of life of most people.
If you feel like you are caught between two fires, choosing between beauty and practicality or convenience and ergonomics, you can relax - we have the right solution.
Of course, all fans of open storage who consider it convenient and comfortable for themselves should not give up shelves and racks.
Instead, use the following tips to help you organize your storage so that creative clutter doesn't become visual noise or an eyesore for guests.
1. Choose places for open storage that are hidden from the view of strangers. This could be a rack standing around the corner, a floor hanger in the bedroom, not in the hallway, etc.
2. Consider having a "hidden mechanism". If you have unexpected guests, you can use a curtain or screen to hide the storage system.
For reference
A shelf is a piece of furniture without a front wall, with or without a back wall, for placing books and other items.
